Ben Shuldiner Shares Insights on Education and Hemophilia B

Discover a supportive community for parents and caregivers navigating a child's diagnosis of hemophilia B, whether you're newly acquainted or familiar with the condition. Our event series, led by two veteran parents alongside a specialist, offers a nurturing environment to address your questions and explore solutions together.

In this engaging session we are putting Ben Shuldiner in the interview hot seat, where you'll have the opportunity to ask crucial questions about your child's education journey from a school leadership expert who also has hemophilia B. Whether you're navigating the transition into school, ensuring a safe and supportive environment during elementary years, or preparing for the challenges of college, Ben is ready to provide expert guidance.

You could ask and learn strategies for advocating effectively for your child's educational needs, fostering independence and self-advocacy skills, creating an inclusive learning environment, and accessing essential resources and support networks. Some example questions you might ask Ben include how to prepare your child for kindergarten or preschool with hemophilia B, ensuring their health needs are met in elementary school, accessing college accommodations, and empowering your child to manage their health independently. Don't miss out on this opportunity to gain valuable insights and support for your child's educational success.
